Leukoplast Elastic Zinc Oxide Tape Roll

General Information

Leukoplast Elastic is a flexible, skin-toned zinc oxide adhesive tape from Essity (BSN medical), supplied on an orange spool. Its stretch lets it conform to body movement, making it well suited to securing dressings on joints, fingers and other areas that bend, and to sports uses such as finger and nail taping.

Key Benefits

• Elastic and flexible – conforms to joints and digits and moves with the body
• Strong zinc oxide adhesive for long-lasting wear
• Well tolerated by normal skin
• Easy to apply over awkward areas
• Discreet tan/skin-tone colour

Ingredients

Tan elastic fabric tape with a zinc oxide adhesive. Specific backing fibres and latex status are not stated by the sources consulted.

Directions

Make sure the skin is clean, dry and free of oils or creams. Cut or tear the required length. Apply over the dressing with little or no stretch on the ends, smoothing the tape down so it adheres evenly to the surrounding skin. Allow for movement of the joint when applying. Remove slowly, supporting the skin.

Warnings

For external use only. Apply to normal, intact skin around the wound or dressing – do not apply tape directly onto open or infected wounds. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the components. If redness, itching or irritation occurs, remove and discontinue use. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Always read the label and use only as directed.
